Lorenzo Galea

Lorenzo Galea (died 1930) was a Chicago Outfit enforcer during Prohibition. In 1930, he was sent to serve as the head of the security detail assigned to Al Capone's chief bookkeeper Walter Payne, and he was present when Payne and his other bodyguards returned to Chicago at Union Station. There, they were ambushed by Bureau of Prohibition agents Eliot Ness and George Stone, and Galea was wounded multiple times in the arms by shotgun blasts. He then held Payne at gunpoint and told Ness that he could either let him leave with Payne, or he would kill Payne; either way, Ness would be unable to use Payne's testimony in court. However, Stone shot Galea in the forehead before he could do any harm to Payne.
